aloysius_bearThursday found the humans and me meeting up with some new friends to walk part of the BFG Dream Jar Trail in central London. Our first stop was Broadgate Circle near Liverpool Street station:
The jar itself proved quite difficult to locate but we came across some other interesting art while we were looking:
An eagle-eyed member of the party finally spotted what we were looking for - the jar designed by Nadiya Hussain, entitled "Totem Pole":
Our walk took us down towards Bank, where we found the next jar outside The Royal Exchange. This one was designed by David Weir and was called "The Heart Takes Over":
There were two jars to find in the environs of St Paul's, the first of which was designed by Dominic West and was entitled "Home Is Where The Heart Is":
The second was probably my favourite of the ones we saw, designed by Stephen Hawking, and called "I Dream of the Universe:
Next, we wandered across to Monument, where we found the jar entitled "A Stitch In Time Saves Nine", designed by Jenny Packham:
Lastly, we ventured down to the river front, where our final jar of the day waited. This one was designed by Ben Ainslie, and was called "Ship of Dreams":
The jars are only available to view until 31 August, which is a shame, because it would have been fun to arrange another walking route to find some more. Still, the evening was rounded off with some delicious tapas, and good conversation with new friends, so a lovely outing overall.
